Lava Network
What is Lava?
The Lava Protocol aims to provide decentralized and scalable access to blockchain data through the use of a network of providers and consumers. It utilizes a proof-of-stake consensus mechanism and incentivizes participants through the use of its native LAVA token. The protocol includes features such as a stake-weighted pseudorandom pairing function, backfilling, and a lazy settlement process to improve scalability and efficiency. The roadmap for the Lava Protocol includes further development of governance, conflict resolution, privacy, and quality of service, as well as support for additional API specifications. It is designed to be a public good that enables decentralized access to the Web3 ecosystem.

Developing
Installing development dependencies
before running the scripts make sure you have go installed and added to $PATH, you can validate by running which go
init_install will install all necessary dependencies to develop on lava.
./scripts/init_install.sh
Building the binaries
LAVA_BINARY=all will build all lava binaries (lavad, lavap, lavavisor) and place them in the go bin path on your environment.
LAVA_BINARY=all make install
Building the binaries locally
You can also build the binaries locally (path will be ./build/...) by running
LAVA_BINARY=all make build
Building only a specific binary
it is possible to build only one binary: lavad/lavap/lavavisor
LAVA_BINARY=lavad make install
Or check out the latest release.
Add lavad/lavap autocomplete
You can add a useful autocomplete feature to lavad & lavap with a simple bash script.
